A Strategic Agenda for the Currency

Abstract

The preceding chapter has laid down the agenda designed to restructure, refocus and strengthen the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s financial system. This chapter is devoted to an important part of our ‘vision for a strong currency’. The chapter provides additional elements of the reform agenda designed to position the Congolese franc to become a credible currency. In this light, the agenda would be complemented by reforms designed to stabilize the exchange rate, reduce inflation, restructure the overall denominations of the national currency and introduce coins, as well as to promote the efficiency of the payments system.
